Misunderstanding

By Bluefurryelf

He stood up, stretched himself and marched towards the mansion. During the last months there have sometimes been painful moments for her, but those moments were quickly swept away by him. Day after day she began to be live with the loss of Jean. He did not want her not to remember her anymore. All he wanted her was to remember her as the one thing she had been for her: her dearest and deepest friend! But there has been one thing he had to deal with. And that was Logan. He has become a very close friend for Kurt, but he often wanted to hang around Ororo, too. Kurt has never felt like this before. He realized that he did not wanted Logan to be near her. It was a feeling like a great and very hot fire. He could have shared their friendship with everybody on the grounds but not with 'Ro! Whenever he thought about her, his heart started to pump so hard and strong that it seemed it wanted to burst his chest.

And now this! It had been on that beautiful sunny day. He had been sitting outside in the arming sun and watched the others. Then he saw her with him! They were laughing and joking. She also boxed into his ribs. After that Logan has grabbed her and kissed her! If his skin has not been of a deep blue taint, he would have turned immediately to strongest green. He could have only stared at the two of them and then disappeared in a cloud of dark, sulphurous smoke.

It had hurt so much! He reappeared in his room. With tears burning in his eyes, he threw himself onto his bed. "Warum, Gott? Was habe ich getan?[i] I had faith and I had trusted You! God, why did You do this to me? Do You want to test my faith?" He sniffled his tears into the pillow. He had never known before that to love someone could also have the meaning of being jealous of someone. He buried his face deeper into the pillow and pulled the blanket over him.

If Kurt has waited only a few seconds he would have known what 'Ro was really feeling.

"Logan, let me go!" Ororo slapped the Canadian's face and pushed him away. "Why have you done this?" Anger glinted in her now milky eyes. Logan stared at her astonished and touched his face there her fist has hurt him. "But I ... We ... " he stuttered. "Let me guess: you have thought, you'll get your chance with me? Forget it! Have you ever thought of Kurt? And his feelings? Did not you see him there?" She pointed at the spot there Kurt had sit a few moments before. "I hope that he did not see anything! If he does, then he will be hurt! And that will be your entire fault! So, get out of my sight, ok?" Then she turned and walked away. Logan stood there totally stunned, only capable of staring at her disappearing into the mansion.

'Ro went straight to Kurt's room. Now it was her standing in front of his door, undecided whether to walk in or not. She heard his soft and slight sobs and it nearly broke her heart. In the last months he has become a welcomed and very pleasant friend to her. And since they kissed... This kiss had changed every thing for her. She had never kissed like that before. It had been an innocent and also very intimate kiss. Her lips still could feel his, she still could smell and taste him when she closed her eyes. Then she pulled herself together, straightens her shoulders and walked into his room.

"Kurt?" "Geh weg und lass mich in Ruhe![ii]" 'Ro did not go. „Kurt, I do not speak German! I ... I have to talk to you." She sat down beside him and reached out to touch his shoulder. Slowly she let her hand glide down over his spine in circles, feeling his muscles tense underneath her fingertips. His face came up from underneath the blanket and pillow. "And about what? About you and Logan?" there was something in his voice she never heard before – not with him: jealousy. 'Ro saw the pain in his eyes. She raised her hand and touched softly the marks on his skin. "I wonder why do you feel this way, Kurt. Logan means nothing to me! You can believe me with that! I feel nothing for him." "But you have kissed!" "No!" "So, you'll tell me I lie?" "No, Kurt. I will only tell you, that it I not that simple!" She sighed. "You have seen that Logan has kissed me, yes! But have you seen that I respond to his kiss? No! And why? Because there has not been any reason to kiss him!" She watched Kurt while she told him about Logan and her. The pain and hurt slowly vanished, left behind only a questioning look.

"Logan is not the person I love, Kurt Wagner!" She slowly bent down her head and kissed him the second time. But this kiss was not innocent any longer! ----------------------- [i] Why, God? What have I done? [ii] Go away and leave me alone!
